  1. BMW 1 Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of 1 Series
    Hi, now the weather is cold I have noticed my rear heated screen isn't working. I removed the trim on the boot lid and found that there is no wire leading to the connector on the screen!! It has worked in the past so i presume it has become disconnected when I previously replaced the wiper...

    Morning all, My car's headlights required replacing (MOT failure) so I ordered a new set online. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the connections and, as a result, it looks like I ordered the incorrect ones - which surprised me, as the old and new are facelift units and are not xenon. All but one...

    Hi guys, I have the abs and traction lights showing on the dash so I plugged in a diagnostic tool which said there was a fault but not what was causing it. So I checked the live data and it wasn't showing a speed rating for the rear right side. So I changed the bearing and sensor but still no...

    Replaced entire headlight unit in my Xenon equipped car, everything works except high beams. I can flash them fine but can’t toggle them. I have a few wiring ideas for how to resolve this but am unsure if any of them are unsafe, unwise, or otherwise wrong. Also open to any better options. This...

Car: 2006 3 Series 318CI (convertible E46) I seem to have a parasitic battery drain, I don't drive the car too often so I put it down to low usage, but the other day I discovered a new button, hidden inside the driver side glovebox!

    Hi guys, my 2006 E92 has xenon headlights which have recently started oscillating up and down. Fault code 9CB4 was present (rear ride height sensor) so I've changed the rear ride height sensor twice, firstly with a new Febi Bilstein part which made no difference, and secondly with a new BMW...

    Hey all, I am fitting a tow bar to my E92 Pre LCI and I am going to splice into the wires that connect into the back of the lights.

    I have just bought a cheap E61 touring with various issues. First of all no radio reception which I believe is due to the diversity box. Also bootlid will not unlock using specific button on keyfob but does unlock with the other doors. Should the boot lid be motorised? Right side bulbs showing...

    My old tow bar 13 pin plug on our X3 F25 had seriously corroded with several wires having snapped away from the connectors. Simple job I thought so I bought a new socket, this I thought even easier with a simple wiring guide (see pic). The problem is only a few wires correspond to the standard...
